Tridesilon Tips from Pharmacists

• Tridesilon is for external use only. Make sure it does not get into your eyes, nose, or mouth. Do not use it in the rectal or genital area or in the armpits or skin creases unless your doctor tells you to.

• Avoid applying desonide on damaged skin. This can cause skin irritation.

• Do not cover the treated area with a wrap or bandage. This can lead to more of the medicine being absorbed into the body, increasing your risk of side effects.

• Use Tridesilon only to treat your current condition. Do not use it for other conditions without talking to your doctor.

• Tridesilon is not for long-term use. Do not use this medicine for more than 2-4 weeks. Call your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after the recommended duration of treatment.
